People have been turning themselves into Creme Eggs for the Easter weekend

Make-up artist Katie Butt has demonstrated in a video shared with her 178k followers on Instagram how to make yourself resemble the sweet white and yellow fondant-filled egg and its distinctive purple, yellow and red packaging.

She captioned the tutorial: "Would you believe me if I told you I’ve never tried a @cadburyuk creme egg before.

"So this is the first of three Easter looks I have coming in the next week."
